antiinflamatory diet

I tried it right after lyme. So no, not during lyme. Others obviously have and some are now gone from here. .

BUT- I fully believe that lyme affects everything and some are lyme symptoms, and some stuff is the damage, which has individual names by conventional medicine even though they dont care what started it.

Avoiding what releases cytokins in YOUR body can help in ways you never thought while skipping things you thought it might help. Made my still elevated c4a drop from 55,000 to normal 1400. And I had no idea it would dissolve a ten year old tumor. But it did. Lowered my thyroid medicine a little after 20 years of continuous 6 month increases. Prob was what helped my anxiety/adrenals too. Was not night and day, took 6 month, that was two years ago.

Im sure if i did this with lyme, it would have helpd even more.

I’ve been on a Paleo diet (no grains, no dairy, no processed food), for a year, since before I knew I had Lyme, and it has definitely helped. AIP is too strict for me. I still eat coffee and eggs, and potatoes (which some say aren’t true Paleo).

Giving up dairy was probably the best decision I’ve ever made, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. It was causing me so much sinus inflammation and I didn’t even know it until I quit.

Any time I eat wheat now I get terrible joint pain and inflammation, so I know the diet helps. I’ve eaten all organic fruits and veggies for years, along with grass fed meat so it really wasn’t that much of a change. I used to eat a bagel with cream cheese every day though and I see how bad that was now.

I dropped a ton of really stubborn fat the first few months on this diet - all my cellulite, which I had since puberty - it just disappeared. To me it was definitely from eating dairy.

I went Paleo because I knew I had some kind of inflammatory thing going on, and every sports chiro I knew for years was preaching this diet - I knew it helped with inflammation, and with MS symptoms. (I’d been misdiagnosed with MS previously).

I do cheat with chocolate more than I should, but I don’t really notice any symptoms from it. Although in the past when I would eat sugar I would get lots of tingling and numbness.
